Now Say "Ahh..." Oh, Sorry, Force of Habit

"Colon Exams Made Simpler."

I didn't actually bother to read the story, because you can pick up most of it from the title: there are colon exams. At one point, they were complicated. Now, they are simpler.

Instead, I tried to think of what the simplest possible colon exam could be. Possibilities:

1) Tongue depressor...a very long tongue depressor
2) Punching patient in gut and saying "Does this hurt more than it should?"
3) Guesstimation
4) Garden hose with camcorder attached

Just writing that last one made me wince. I can only hope it did the same for you.
